Bill Konigsberg
“The world needs people who are more comfortable standing still. We keep the earth on it axis when everybody else is bouncing around.”
Bill Konigsberg, Openly Straight

Markus Zusak
“Sometimes people are beautiful.
Not in looks.
Not in what they say.
Just in what they are.”
Markus Zusak, I Am the Messenger

Lisa Burstein
“Unfortunately, I am only myself. I am scared and alone and unsure, but I am practicing. I am scared and alone and unsure, but that doesn't mean I always will be.

Like AJ repeating words, I can repeat being me, until I start to believe it.”
Lisa Burstein, Pretty Amy

Jodi Lynn Anderson
“Sometimes love means not being able to bear seeing the one you love the way they are, when they're not what you hoped for them.”
Jodi Lynn Anderson, Tiger Lily

Barry Lyga
“She knew all about the cops and their trigger fingers and their predilection for dealing with those who would attack their brethren. Her father had drummed such stories into her from a young age; more so into Whiz, who bore the burden of being a black boy about to grow into a black teen. "If the police even look at you funny," Dad had said, "you hit the ground and put your hands over your head. Don't talk back. Don't try to run. Don't try to explain. They're just looking for an excuse to shoot you. Don't give it to them.”
Barry Lyga, Blood of My Blood

We like books. We love our group. We want to talk about more than just our tiny vents (although we love those too).
